Christian Civilization is the second of two undergraduate survey courses covering the whole of Western and modern history. This second course examines the central themes in the development of Western Civilization from the flowering of the medieval epoch to the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. Students will study the remarkable features of the High Middle Ages — an era justifiably termed the Age of Faith — to the start of the of the Renaissance, the shattering of Christian unity in the Protestant Reformation, and the time of the great explorations and the Scientific Revolution.
